Patent number: 10964108Abstract: Augmentation of captured 3D scenes with contextual information is disclosed. A 3D capture device is used to capture a plurality of 3D images at a first resolution. A component on a mobile computing device is used to capture at least one piece of contextual information that includes a capture location data and a pose data. The mobile computing device receives, the plurality of 3D images from the 3D capture device, and renders the plurality of 3D images into a 3D model. In addition, the at least one piece of contextual information is embedded into a correct location in the 3D model. A user interactive version of the 3D model including the embedded at least one piece of contextual information is then displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: DotProduct LLCInventors: Rafael Spring, Thomas Greaves

Publication number: 20200267371Abstract: A system and method for real-time or near-real time processing and post-processing of RGB-D image data using a handheld portable device and using the results for a variety of applications. The disclosure is based on the combination of off-the-shelf equipment (e.g. an RGB-D camera and a smartphone/tablet computer) in a self-contained unit capable of performing complex spatial reasoning tasks using highly optimized computer vision algorithms. New applications are disclosed using the instantaneous results obtained and the wireless connectivity of the host device for remote collaboration. One method includes steps of projecting a dot pattern from a light source onto a plurality of points on a scene, measuring distances to the points, and digitally reconstructing an image or images of the scene, such as a 3D view of the scene. A plurality of images may also be stitched together to re-position an orientation of the view of the scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2020Publication date: August 20, 2020Applicant: DotProduct LLCInventors: Mark KLUSZA, Rafael SPRING

Patent number: 10674135Abstract: A system and method for real-time or near-real time processing and post-processing of RGB-D image data using a handheld portable device including extracting gray values from the RGB-D image data, creating image pyramids from the grey values and the depth data, computing a scene fitness value using the image pyramids, predicting a camera pose and aligning the image with a first subset of selected key frames, computing a new camera pose estimate and creating a keyframe using the new camera pose estimate, after the keyframe is created, selecting a second subset of keyframes different from the first subset of keyframes and repeating the step of aligning with each keyframe of the second subset of keyframes, deciding whether new links are required to the keyframe in a keyframe pose graph and linking the keyframes.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2014Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: DotProduct LLCInventors: Mark Klusza, Rafael Spring
